~ Harvesting the Sage ~

Even with all the heat we've had it hasn't seem to stunt the growth of the bushes in front of the house. Last week once again,I started the job of trimming. The Russian Sage plant also needed to be trimmed back, while it lay on the ground a tablescape came to mind. Leaving the trimmer behind, good blogger that I am I promptly went inside to gather what I thought might make a welcoming table. :-))

Filling the pitcher with some water and ice, I grabbed what cookies I had on hand, sliced a lemon and a tablescape began to come together.

Fig newtons may not be a person's first choice, a gal just rolls with the flow.A green martini glass adds a bit of elegance to a casual table.A fusion of Russian Sage flows ever so gracefully over the edges of the metal basket.A mix of napkins, linen and cotton graceful folds, hold a delightful scent of Russian Sage.

Please help yourself.

Thank you for stopping by today to say hello. Susan, thank you for hosting each week.

I need to trim my sage too:) I can almost smell yours, your photos are that good:) Lots of my garden plants are leaning over with the wind that we have been having and the storm is on its way! I am praying it goes out to sea and stays there....forever.~Debra xxxCapers of the vintage vixens

I'll bet it smells good, too! The fig newtons WOULD be my first choice! I really like them a lot. I think they might be good for you, too. Very pretty setting, and I like the hat. It's just what every proper Southern lady should have available at a moment's notice. I, of course, am not from the South and there are a few who would argue that I'm not much of a lady, either. That's neither here nor there! ;-) Very pretty, Lynne!
